SRAM Guide RS Disc Brake 2016

The SRAM Guide RS Disc Brake 2016 provides precision at your fingertips. It's flawless and will give you the confidence needed to take the right line efficiently and effortlessly. It features a proven 4-piston caliper and innovative SwingLink lever technology that gives you a more positive pad contact and increased braking dominance. It's also lightweight and will match your SRAM drivetrain.

The rear brake lever never functioned as intended. While the front brake lever sprung back to position as they're supposed to, the rear lever was spongy on return. Stopping power was normal for the first 5 or 6 rides, but on a descent yesterday the rear wouldn't lock up. Finding out the hard way, at the wrong time, is not how you want to learn you have no brakes.

Were stock on a 2017 Stache 9.8. I'm an XTR guy so I was hesitant about these brakes. After 3 - 4 rides I was quite pleased. They broke in quickly and the modulation is smooth. We'll see how they hold up, I'll update if there's a problem.

The lever has a spongy feel, I had to bleed them and that helped. These brakes make noise and viberate (cold hot is does not seem to matter) I also have had problems with the brakes dragging on the rotor. I can center the brake pads and after a ride they will be rubbing again. During a ride in can use the brakes and you can hear a dragging noise once you release, if I pull the brake hard again it goes away. Get the shimano brakes and be done. These seem to have all the problems the old elixir brakes had.

I have these brakes and I love them paired with sintered pads. I've had 2 models of shimano brakes before and I prefer these over them. IMPORTANT: I've heard that the older models have plunger growth issues that can happen in hot weather and can cause permanent damage. New ones have resolved thay problem. So that must have been the problem with the other guys.

These brakes were awful and took away my confidence when riding. They came stock on a Yeti SB5c Turq and I had problems with them since day one. They were mushy and did not provide decent stopping power. I had continual problems with the pistons not retracting on one side sticking, causing endless brake rub (super annoying). My LBS serviced and eventually warrantied the brakes (widespread problems with the lever on this model), but the problems remained. Very frustrating.

I was hoping that SRAM got their act together with these brakes, but apparently not. I will stick to Shimano brakes, which are cheaper, lighter, and much more consistent and reliable (the ZEEs are an absolute win!).

I won’t buy SRAM brakes again. This is now the third set of guide brakes that stop working if the bike is in the sun. The lever gets soft and won’t return properly. It’s not a bleeding issue either... For the money there are better options out there. Do your self a favor and buy something that will work.
